Testimonials

“Miss Sandy is the BEST! My little girl is very shy and was not used to lots of new faces, but she blossomed with Sandy and loved seeing her every day 🙂 It was such a blessing to know my little girl was safe and loved.” - Jillian S

“I would recommend Sandy’s Tender Care to anyone. I trust Sandy implicitly. My daughter, Ashlee, started there in 1997. She was there for 4 years. When I became pregnant again in 2001, I begged Sandy to start accepting infants. I did not trust anyone else with my child. By the grace of God, Sandy said yes. Within a couple of weeks, Sandy had created a nursey and at 3 months my son, Timothy (TJ) became the first infant at Sandy’s Tender Care. Sandy took care of TJ until he was 11. She helped raise him and became like a second Mom. Sandy has a heart for children. She will provide education, love, and care. There is no place better than Sandy,’s Tender Care!” - Ramonsa M

“We wouldn’t have our little guy go anywhere else. He loves Ms. Sandy and even begs to go on the weekends. Thank you Ms. Sandy for taking such great care of him!” - Dana S

“Ms Sandy has been taking care of my son with special needs since he was 6months and I wouldn’t trust anyone else with him.” - Angela M
